The event will bring together researchers and end-users from across all sectors working on IWT, to find new ways of working together to tackle this complex topic. Research plays a central role in finding real-world solutions to the challenges posed by IWT, in ways that are evidence-based, and effective.

Event objectives

Underline the importance of evidence in effectively tackling IWT and showcase existing research with real-world impact

Promote cross-sector collaboration to use reliable evidence to increase the effectiveness of IWT actions

Provide policy-relevant and evidence-based suggestions on how to tackle IWT

Call for Contributions

This Evidence to Action event will cover the full range of areas in which research can support action, explicitly reaching across IWT stakeholder groups to learn from experience and build collaborations that can inform policy and action. We aim to be inclusive and seek a diversity of approaches and perspectives. We are calling for expressions of interest in contributing to the programme of this key event.
